/r/birds
General subreddit about birds and bird-related topics, including bird art, bird science, questions about birds, and bird pictures.
All about birds! There are some more specific subreddits about bird-related topics and we encourage you to post there when your post fits the more specific forum; /r/birds is for everything they don't cover.
We welcome:
Articles about birds
Bird art
Questions and discussions about birds
Questions and discussions about bird feeders
Bird photography
Science of birds
Links to media about birds
Other subreddits:
/r/birding focuses on birding/birdwatching. It's a great place do show birds you saw on a birding trip or hike, ask about birding equipment and practices, discuss good places to go birdwatching, talk about eBird, and related topics.
/r/birdpics is dedicated to posting bird photos that you've taken yourself.
/r/whatsthisbird is the reddit for posting pictures of birds you want to identify. If your question is "what kind of bird is this", that's the place to post! When posting to /r/whatsthisbird, always remember to include both the time (date or season) and place (general geographical location) in your post title.
/r/wingspan/ for the awesome, popular board game about birds.
Although we think there should be a separate subreddit for discussions about keeping domesticated / pet birds, /r/petbirds appears to be abandoned at this time. There are subreddits for specific species of birds people commonly keep, so you can search https://www.reddit.com/subreddits for your pet bird's species to see if there's a sub for it.
We do still allow some posts here that might better fit in one of those other subreddits, but consider whether your post more clearly fits into one of those and if so, we encourage you to post there.

I was advised that they prefer platform feeders. Does anyone have experience with this? I need to draw this dickhead away from the primary feeder where this little bird Nazi has set up shop.
What looks like a red shouldered hawk was enjoying our backyard bird feeder in the Hudson Valley, NY. He didn’t end up catching the cardinal, but he did catch a chickadee. Circle of life 🌀
A diluted dark eyed junko?
This guy flew in and landed on the thinnest dead tree within sight.
My bird doesn't get out of cage and is always sleeping I want to get him to go out
Hey bird lovers, I built a free web app called Bird Identifier that instantly identifies any bird species from a photo. Just upload a picture, and the AI will do the rest—no cost, no sign-ups, just quick and accurate bird recognition.
✅ Upload a photo – Works with clear images in JPEG & PNG. ✅ Instant results – Get the bird’s name, characteristics, and habitat details. ✅ Listen to bird calls – Learn to recognize birds by sound. ✅ Track your sightings – Save identified birds to your collection.
I made this for the birding community, and I’d love for you to try it out. Let me know what you think!
